What to do if your skin gets frostbite

Faced with the cold winter and the changing environment, some people's skin is more fragile and they will get frostbite. If frostbite is not treated in time, it will cause skin suppuration or even skin rot. Therefore, you must pay attention to keeping warm. So what should you do if you get frostbite on your skin? Let's take a look at the specific treatment methods below. I hope it can be of some help to everyone.

Focus on keeping warm.

We all know that frostbite is our body's reaction to the cold. Therefore, once you get frostbite, you should pay more attention to keeping your body warm, especially the parts of the body where you get frostbite. You should be more careful not to get frozen and try not to touch cold water in winter.

No matter how itchy it is, you have to endure it and don't scratch.

Once you get frostbite, as the temperature rises every night when you go to bed, the frostbitten area will become very itchy and feel hot and itchy, sometimes very uncomfortable. At this time, you must be determined and resolutely not scratch it too hard, as it is easy to scratch and break the skin, which will make the situation even more serious. At most, you can rub and massage the cache, and you can think of other ways to distract your attention, which can also have a good effect.

Rub your hands more often and massage the areas affected by frostbite.

When we have time, we should rub our hands more often, which can effectively prevent frostbite. Of course, some parts of the body that are prone to frostbite, such as the ears and feet, can also be massaged with hands. Massage more in winter to increase blood circulation, which can effectively prevent and treat frostbite.

Don't wear tight clothing, especially on areas where you have frostbite.

We all know that it is easy to get frostbite in winter because the weather is cold, which slows down and blocks blood circulation. So in addition to keeping warm and massaging more to promote blood circulation as mentioned above, we should also pay attention to the clothes and tights we wear. They should not be too tight, as too tight clothes can easily lead to poor blood circulation. It is easy to get frostbite, which is difficult to heal once it occurs.

Use warm water or other heating methods to promote blood circulation, such as hot water.

We folks use a lot of heating methods to treat frostbite, and there are all kinds of folk remedies. However, I would like to remind everyone not to touch the frostbite area with something too hot or too scalding. This can easily make the frostbite worse and fail to achieve the therapeutic effect. It may be hot or comfortable at the time, after all, itching is sometimes uncomfortable.

The above are the specific treatment methods for frostbite on the skin. However, there are some small details in life that can play a certain preventive role in frostbite. After washing your hands, it is recommended that you apply some hand cream, which will form a protective film on your skin and play a good protective role. Soaking your hands in hot water is also a good way.
